The Czickness XLV anxious for the SGE

[MindfulMan]

Morn'n gents

Slept in some today, my inner clock hasn't changed yet so..

Sleeping in ? .....it wasn't even noon when you posted this !
Don't fret. I slept-in enough for both of us !

 

[WebSnyper]

Socks. They are with the single lost socks.

So they are over at @Trigger Time 's house? I always wondered where missing mags went.

Getting new tires on the wife's vehicle today.

Morning folks.

Nice save Lee. Lots of folks in that building owe you a beer.

Don't know if they party with beer......skunk weed seemed an easier option for them last night..........oh well.....have to detox on the pontoon later this summer......

I just went this route…..View attachment 187982

Have had ours a little over a year. Quality ride for the $$. Do be careful till you get comfortable. That little E-motor has a lot of torque. 2nd ride out last February, I managed to hit the power when I shouldn't have, and caught a curb and flipped it, breaking a bone in my left hand. I'm a little more careful now!

They're still way cool though. Got the wife and I moving again, so it's all good.

Nice ride Chris. If they come out with a full suspension version I might be a buyer.

We have the first version without suspension, and I added the spring-loaded seat post. It helps, but the current version they've added oil-damped front suspension. I'll bet if one were to add the suspension seat post, it would ride pretty soft.

Add an extra battery and you're talking 50 mile range or more, and you can work as much or as little as you want.

Gas gets high enough, I'll be riding it to work.

We have the newer version. Thinking about getting the seat post. Darn thing is pretty quick.

Sure is, and ya gotta be careful pedaling around corners too. But I suspect you know that by now .

If you don't go passed the limit, you don't really know where the limit is!

Yep. 60 yo bones are not as limber as young bones. I found the limit. One of these bones is not like the others:



Bottom line: keep it upright.

Ouch, no more Evil Kenevil riding for you.

Completely understand! I am closer to 60 than 20….or 30….or 40…

I've been considering a folding electric bike. A fat tire version could come in handy, down at the cabin.
Do any of you owners recommend a favorite brand (or one to stay away from) ?

 

[MindfulMan]

I kind of dig this Army green version from Aventon. This isn't a folder, but you get the idea. About 2K ... so a rather hearty investment !

MM, the one ChrisK posted, and mine, is Lectric Bike. $1000 and free shipping. Comes almost fully assembled. Considered entry level, but it's all I need. Tons of U-tubes about them. The current models are even better than mine.

Aha .... thanks ! I shall research that brand.

Yall are reading my mind. Ive been looking at Radpowerbikes lately since work is not quite a mile from my bedroom and the GMC is quite thirsty.

The one ChrisK and mmpsteve are talking about folds. I never considered something like this but I am now.
